Tools & SW - FPGA & ASIC development
SEmulation - Simulator controlled Emulation, Cosimulation
- ARM Microcontroller Prototyping System for Cortex-M3
- Industrial Reference Platform for INTEL® ATOM TM
- FPGA & ASIC Development Tool - High Performance - High Speed - High End
- SEmulator enables an accelerated HDL simulation by shifting parts
from simulation models to real hardware
- SEmulator allows to Cosimulate RTL models + real HW
(on the motherboard or via child boards)
- Hardware Acceleration:
The FPGA can be used as accelerator for the simulator.
Simulation speed-up of up to 600 times possible.
(10 hour simulation time drops to 1 minute!)
- Hardware in the Loop: Cosimulation
Allows moving design blocks to the hardware for Cosimulation
Every real hardware component on the module, base board or
any child board can be used as an actual simulation model,
as well as the CPU in the FPGA Standard components can be
implemented directly into simulation and emulation,
- Advantages of SEmulation
- Early and continued testing of final hardware =>
Higher design quality / reliability
- Dramatically decrease RTL simulation time =>
Decrease development time
- Standard FPGA board for development =>
Minimum additional hardware cost
- Hardware in the Loop (Cosimulation)
Every external hardware can be implemented easily in the SEmulator
No need for Simulation Models for Analog/Digital - IP/Chip,
- Can be implemented directly on the FPGA or at the ChildBoard
- ‘No’ limitation on pin and gate count, Broad family concept –
Many extension boards
- Logic Analyzer
Logic Analyzer - I/O Handler - Based on ALTERA’s Signal Tap,
Difference, transfer the signals via 10 Gbit PCI Express I/F to the PC,
this allows higher number of signals for a longer time period.
- AMBA IP Manager
- Quickly and easily configure the system
- Graphical interface allows access to a library of IP components
- Automatically synthesises the design and programs the system
- JTAG Debugger and Scanner
